Pokémon Sun and Moon are now available! Read our extensive Sun and Moon review at Daily!

The finale of the fourth annual Favorite Pokémon Tournament is underway in Pokémon General!View the poll and vote for as many Pokémon as you'd like. Voting is only open until the 5th of December though, so don't wait to make your picks!

All I'm saying is, character customization is such a basic idea in so many things, I don't see why we don't have it already. Again, basic pre-made sprites is something I could settle with. If you've ever made a Trainer Card at Pokecharms.com, they have hundreds of sprites there, ones from the games and other ones. Just throw those in and I'd be happy.

No it hasn't...we only get to choose between three different similar characters that have different hair/skin tone.

It is confirmed. They've showed us pictures and told us that you can customize your character so other players can differ other people from each other. Also you could see yourself while playing as the female character and see her as your rival and they both had different clothes and hairstyles. The male rival didn't have his hat but the male player did have his hat with his sunglasses and the skin/hair tone is just the first step where you can choose how you want your tone with your hair and skin to be.

Really? All I'd seen/heard of is the three different character appearances you can choose from. Well, that makes a big difference. Thanks for the link, I'm definitely going to check it out because like I said, all I've seen is the few different appearances you can choose from.

What?In Pokemon x y site it says that we will be able to purchase clothes and accessories for our characters.
Even in the PSS picture you can see how diverse the customization is.

There are two NPC pictures on it as well so NPC avatars are still possible for Wifi Trade/represenation

Third one in Passerby is the new Lass avatar. Second one in Friends may be a new NPC as well. Honestly, it has potential but diversity doesn't really seem there. If there are more real comboes added in, that'll be cool, but potential of NPC avatars take away from diversity of player customization.

NPC versions aren't the same so they aren't worth mentioning with PC customization. Serena and Yvonne are two different characters otherwise they wouldn't have two different names. Same with Calem and Xavier. They may look alike, but that doesn't make them the same character with different customization.

On Pokemon.com they do say that at certain points you can buy new accessories for your character.http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/characters/heroes/
Third picture with the male looking in the mirror, caption says:
At certain points you'll be able to get new outfits and accessories for your trainer.

Other than outfits and possibly hats as shown by the PSS, I don't think there will be any other changes to the preset differences.

This, combined with the global release, makes the Pokemon world almost magical in the way that people interact. It's going to be so great to get immersed, dressed up in your own personal style, with your own personal party, to meet and interact with other people who have done things differently. Diversity is NEVER a bad thing in a video game, as long as there's balance. Hopefully there won't be some hat that gives double attack or something ridiculous like that.

Now I'm rambling... Sorry.

I am guessing not, but I wonder if GF is going to allow for customization of the trainer's body type (height/weight/muscle). It's nice to see skin color be customizable now. It feels much more inclusive.

It would be nice if they would allow us to go that far, but I'm not expecting anything past skin color/clothing accessories really. u_u;

Yeah I think the same too, hair/skin color and clothing seems enough imo. However I'll probably be using Serena's default design as my character anyway because it heavily resembles my own appearance irl.

I think height/weight is something that they wouldn't bother doing, because the little sprites all have the same build, and you wouldn't even see it except maybe during battles. xD Though, I'm just enjoying that we get any sort of customization at all.
